DUSHANBE, September 25, 2010, Asia-Plus  -- Communications link with Rasht district will be resumed in the near future, Deputy Minister of Transport and Communications Beg Zuhurov said in an interview with Asia-Pus.

Zuhurov attributes lack of communications link with the district, where a special operation to hunt down persons involved in a September 19 attack of a military convoy is under way, to “technical problems.”

“A telephone cable has been damaged in several parts in Rasht,” said the deputy minister, “Repair teams have already been sent to the district and the communications links will be restored within the next few days.”

Representatives from cellular operators also say that communications link with Rasht district has been cut off for technical problems.

We will recall that communication link with Rasht district was cut off on September 23 when the government troops began a counterterrorist operation in the district.
